There was also BN 7149 and 7890 that I would like to do too. They were modified to run on LNG. They received a flared radiator. Is it okay to modify the model to put the flared radiator?
It's up to u. Then when u release just tell about changes, I do it. -Boots127
Btw. I made a new "bogie, truck" for Carlos Sd40-2.

When I measure the models, I understand that Carlos made the update from SD38, it's shorter than SD40 & SD40-2.
So I have tried to make up for these differences by rescaling Carlos models from 0.0062 to 0.0064. Don't use
the 691kb xfile, it makes the model to tall. U better test yourself, if u have any doubts! I use the 668kb xfile.
Btw. I don't work on my RTR-BNSF yet. I have it on bcup. But I like the paintscheme of BNSF1868. I made BNSF1993
in 2015, it's similar but with new dds-files the BNSF update will be different indeed! So let's start painting.
Don't forget the small white signs! Waiting! - Boots127

I know. There are two Carlos SD40-2's. One is taller than the other. Jacob used the taller version.

I like the 0.0064 scale. I still have your 2015 BNSF SD40-2's. I didn't put the new bogies yet. In real life the SD40-2 is longer than the regular SD40 and SD38. The 0.064 scale makes the Carlos SD40-2 the same length as the Mark21. The one thing I don't like about changing the scale though is that the engine can be too wide. But I think it looks good here.  Here is the difference of the height of 691kb SD40-2 and the SD38.  Here is another difference of the 668kb and the 691kb SD40-2's. The handrail colors can be changed on the 691kb. But the 668kb also has extra lights too.  |

Well, here is some more SD40-2 from MSTS. This is BN. BN is one of my favorite fallen flags.  I found a BN 6818.  But then I found a better one. This is BN 7081.  Then here is the BN whiteface 6325.  But here is some patched ones that I wanted to do too. BNSF, HLCX, FURX, and NS.     There was also BN 7149 and 7890 that I would like to do too. They were modified to run on LNG. They received a flared radiator. Is it okay to modify the model to put the flared radiator?  Have u done any GP38 or GP40's. I found some skins in Danny Beck's freeware. So I will test a NS skin, I already use a CSX skin on my RTR_CSX program. He delivered a lot of skins, so I forgot them. I start with a CPR3013 GP38, this is one of Danny's skins - Boots127  |

I used Mark21's GP40-2. That one had problems though.

Yess, the same with Brett-Railfan765's CSXT-Pack. Jacob made a try to build a cover over the fan, but it did not work.
I'm nearly finished with a NS5663 GP38-2. Just check, model VIP's - Boots127
